Abstract
There is provided a process for treating particulate scrap material. The process includes emplacing the particulate scrap material and a reagent material within a calcining zone with effect that a reactive process is effected such that a calcined metal material product is obtained, and carbonylating a carbonylation precusor material with effect that a carbonylated product is obtained, wherein the carbonylation precursor material is derived from the calcined metal material product.

A process for treating particulate scrap material comprising:
- emplacing the particulate scrap material and a reagent material within a calcining zone with effect that a reactive process is effected such that a calcined metal material product is obtained;
- wherein:
- the scrap material includes metallic material, and the metallic material includes at least one target metal, and the at least one target metal is nickel, iron, or nickel and iron;
- wherein:
- where the at least one target metal includes nickel, at least 90 weight of the total amount of nickel of the scrap material is elemental nickel, based on the total weight of the nickel of the scrap material;
- where the at least one target metal includes iron, at least 90 weight of the total amount of iron of the scrap material is elemental iron, based on the total weight of the iron of the scrap material;
- and
- carbonylating a carbonylation precusor material with effect that a carbonylated product is obtained, wherein the carbonylation precursor material is derived from the calcined metal material product.
